The remaining male and female were actors by profession, one of whom was a very famous triathlon all-star.
However, when everyone glanced over, Kai-Roger’s look towards Tang Shu was tinged with some annoyance and disdain.
Tang Shu paused, puzzled. Did they know each other?
In his memory, there was no existence of this person, so where exactly was this international triathlon star’s hostility towards him coming from...
"Alright, now that everyone has met, we can start filming after we’ve checked our equipment!"
Following the director’s announcement, everyone started to lay out their backpacks for all to see. Cosmetics, food, and electronic products were strictly prohibited; each person could only bring along some daily necessities.
Whether it was the guests or us, almost everyone brought salt and other seasonings. In addition to that, compasses, daggers, and rope were also indispensable. Since everyone had some experience, there weren’t any major issues after the inspection.
When they opened Tang Shu’s backpack and found several small porcelain bottles inside, both sides were baffled.
"Xiao Shu, why are you bringing these porcelain bottles and Ziploc bags? And that... that iron thing that looks like a hammer, what is it?"
It looked strangely shaped.
Geng Qiuqiu, who was closest to Tang Shu, spoke up in a whisper.
Lin Chuan, seeing the curiosity of the group, cleared his throat and asked, "Tang Shu, what is this?"
Tang Shu stood still and did not move an inch, "As you can see, small porcelain bottles and Ziploc bags."
Roger snorted, his tall figure already at the backpack, pointing at the items on the ground, "What are these for? You’re not trying to cheat, are you?"
"Haven’t you seen porcelain bottles and plastic wrap? Then what do you think these things could be used for cheating?"
"You... they’re your items, who knows what you’re using them for!"
"So, directors, these items aren’t on the prohibited list, right?"
Tang Shu, having sensed the ill will from the other party, was on guard and would not accommodate his bad mood. Disregarding his aggression, he directly asked the staff nearby.
Lin Chuan and the other director exchanged glances and shook their heads.
"They’re not prohibited items, we’re just curious about them."
They had already checked them and found they were just ordinary items, empty and seemingly useless. They were purely curious about what these things were actually for, especially since porcelain bottles are heavy and fragile, making them very unsuitable for the rough and tumble of mountain climbing and wading through water.
Seeing the directors’ confusion, Tang Shu explained, "I study medicine and want to collect some interesting medicinal herbs to take back."
Since both sides used the common Y language, and Tang Shu had been learning it for some time, communication was not an issue. However, the others were momentarily surprised upon hearing the word "medicine."
"Is it Eastern Country’s traditional medicine?"
"You actually plan to collect plants and take them back? Without chemical equipment, you won’t be able to study anything."
"Isn’t that a scam? Where is it as powerful as our Western medicine?"
Three of the five Explorers had a certain understanding of medicinal drugs in wilderness survival, but they would bring along certain protective medicines when entering the forest and would never actually collect medicinal herbs on the spot. Therefore, there was a hint of skepticism in their tone.
As for the two stars, their tone was not so pleasant.
